FNSW Development Squad & Blaxland Celebrate 40 years !
Blaxland Football Club celebrated its 40th Anniversary with a dinner on Saturday 20th June at Penrith Paceway which was well supported with former Socceroo Captain Alex Tobin attending as the guest speaker. To back this up on the Sunday morning the club ran a special Anniversary Gala Day held at St John’s Oval throughout the day. To help with the celebrations FNSW sent along its U10 Development Scholarship Squad to provide the mums, dads and players in attendance with a demonstration of some exciting new skills, drills and games. FNSW coaches Ben Wright and James Rankine put the players through a complete range of fun warm up games, technique practices, 1v1 drills and small sided games. The goalkeepers were also catered for with Coach James going through some basic goalkeeping drills and techniques also. Football NSW High Performance Manager, Paul Bentvelzen and Development Program Manager Tim Wilson were also in attendance to assist and support on the day.
Throughout the day the Blaxland Club also had teams playing culminating with the final game of the day being the local clash between Blaxland Redbacks Premier 1st Grade playing against the Blue Mountains Club. Boys and girls attending were also kept entertained between games with an assortment of rides and jumping castles available during the day also.

COACH EDUCATION HEADS WEST
HPU Manager Paul Bentvelzen and FNSW Technical Manager Norm Boardman conducted an Elite Coaches Induction Day at Jack Brabham Oval in Orange on Saturday January 31st. Following a revamp of the coaching and development structure within Western Branch, Paul and Norm worked with coaches from Western NSW to introduce fresh ideas which they can use in delivering the Pathway Programs in the area.
Under a pilot system, Western Branch will have Association Head Coaches under the guidance of an Operations and Development Manager (Andrew Fearnley) and an Area Technical Manager (Glenn Stedman). The aim of this structure is to continue to improve player development within Western NSW and also to allow greater interaction with players and coaches at grassroots level.

Coach Education Partnership: FNSW & GAG
Coach education is at the very centre of player development here in NSW and is priority for our coaching and development team. Our sport is safe, fun, active and can be enjoyed by players of all ages and all abilities. The sport that we love so much has experienced a huge growth at all levels, particularly at grass roots. The increase in player numbers and with the implementation of Small Sided Games there are more grass roots coaches who need support through session plans, curriculums, drills, practices and games that will inspire, challenge and educate their players. Football NSW in partnership with Global Ambition Group are proud to announce a new interactive webpage which allows coaches, parents, teachers and players the chance to view detailed curriculum content that will guarantee players learn in a positive environment. This initiative goes to the heart of quality coach education and support that will facilitate player development for a large percentage of coaches and players at grass roots level.
